Toyota has announced UK pricing and specifications for the ninth-generation Toyota Hilux BEV, marking the debut of the company’s first fully electric Hilux model.
The battery-electric pickup will start at £57,845 in the UK before application of the government’s £5,000 plug-in van grant, reducing the effective entry price to £52,845.
Toyota said order books for the electric Hilux will open on June 1, with first customer deliveries scheduled to begin later the same month.
The company will offer the Hilux BEV in two trim levels, Icon and Invincible. The higher-specification Invincible version is priced from £60,695 before government incentives.
The ninth-generation Hilux will initially be offered exclusively in a Double Cab body style with five seats, although Toyota plans to introduce a two-seat conversion option later in 2026.
Toyota first unveiled the electric Hilux in Thailand in November last year. The company’s decision to launch the model in the UK follows the Thai introduction, with both markets using right-hand-drive vehicle configurations.
The automaker has not yet released full UK technical specifications for the electric pickup, including official battery capacity, driving range or charging performance figures.
However, the version launched in Thailand featured a 59.2-kWh lithium-ion battery pack with a driving range of up to 315 kilometers under the NEDC testing cycle.
Toyota previously indicated the European-specification model would likely deliver around 240 kilometers of range under the WLTP standard.
The battery system operates at 296 volts and supports charging speeds of up to 11 kW AC and 125 kW DC. Toyota said charging from 20% to 80% can be completed in around 30 minutes.
The Hilux BEV comes equipped with alloy wheels, side steps and off-road assistance systems including Multi-Terrain Select and Downhill Assist Control as standard equipment.
The Invincible trim adds leather upholstery, LED headlights and wireless smartphone charging.
Alongside the electric version, Toyota will continue offering the Hilux with a Diesel 48V powertrain.
The company said the introduction of the battery-electric Hilux represents another step in its broader commercial vehicle electrification strategy.
“Hilux also enters a new era of electrified power with the introduction of the first all-electric model, alongside the Diesel 48V,” Toyota said in a statement.
Toyota added that the new lineup supports its broader strategy of offering multiple powertrain technologies to help customers reduce emissions while meeting different transport requirements.
